    Pharrel Payne visiting Indiana this week.

    He’ll get a few minutes every few games behind Ballo.

    How will we do with our portal additions?

    Thx. That roster as seen would be seriously Big Ten ready and a step up. A selling point in itself. Fitzmorris looks better than Liam Robbins due to his ability to shoot, rebound, and use both hands, but runs the floor similarly. Gray is a physical tough rim attacker we need, and with his...

    How will we do with our portal additions?

    Ok time to make a list of “best options” that are somewhat realistic taken from MN list of contacts. After watching them play all year (O'Brien, Hugley) and highlight tapes (Gray, Fitzmorris) here is my ideal roster with enough bulk at all positions, and conceivable rotations: Hawkins PG...

    How will we do with our portal additions?

    I have to believe that MN being competitive in the Big Ten, and has first rate facilities are the ancillary selling points. For certain needs, like center/wings can guaranty playing time. Obviously, guys like Mitchell, Hawkins, Garcia have input into what transfers are looking for other than...

    Former Waseca HS and NDSU 6-foot-10 big Andrew Morgan will visit the Gophers on Thursday

    I wouldn’t get too worked up about not landing a second team Summit League transfer. Have a little composure people. Everything is not life and death, black and white, etc. There will be positives coming out of this cycle of transfers.

    Kadyn Betts Announces He's Returning to Minnesota

    I have high hopes for him as he falls well into the rotation. Obviously coach and he have discussed the future plan. He seems to have grown in height and width since the end of last season. 3-4 star recruit, best at position in CO, then he reclassified to gain a year of P5 instruction...

    Former Waseca HS and NDSU 6-foot-10 big Andrew Morgan will visit the Gophers on Thursday

    Yes, but Payne has 20lbs minimum on Morgan, has a lower center, has better hops, and occupies more space. I too was hoping he wouldn't dash for the cash, but that's our world. Ideally, get a physical 6'10"/260lb+ dude to shoot, rebound, and occupy space in the paint. Don't care if he can step...

    Former Waseca HS and NDSU 6-foot-10 big Andrew Morgan will visit the Gophers on Thursday

    Wasn't sold on him from get-go. Think we can do better and bigger than 6'9" center in Big Ten. Morgan seemed to me like another Philip Rebraca. Nice role player. MN undoubtedly got outbid $NIL with Berkshire Hathaway money. There are a lot of quality big men in portal, and my hopes are we...

    Dawson Garcia will return to Minnesota next season!!!

    This bodes well for negotiating leverage CBJ will have with potential incoming transfers.

    Returning Playas for 2024-25

    If the state of MN and businesses in Mnpls can’t come up with NIL money for a competitive bb program in 2024, I am going to enter fan portal out. Like Kaiser Söze you’ll never see me again.

    Coach Dame: I love this from Ben.

    April 2023, he extended. Sorry.

    Coaching Hypothetical

    When Hurley portals to Kentucky and SEC, that will shake things up a bit. Could happen imo.

    Coach Dame: I love this from Ben.

    Regarding Betts, if he wasn't already a Gopher, I'd be happy to take a 4-star SF, second best player in CO who reclassified a year early. He'll be a valuable part of '24-'25 as a stretch 3/4. By reclassifying, he was always going to be a project. Obviously, CBJ has had that conversation...

    https://apple.news/AzQg1ROgnQsiOzaY9OmMWEw Would be a terrific get. There will be many more targets, so we’ll see how it goes.

    How will we do with our portal additions?

    A lot of players would love to be in Big Ten at the Barn, but weren’t highly recruited out of HS. Feeder programs hopefully will allow us to get a couple addnl overacheiving starters who can defend and be coached into playing better (ie Hawkins, Mitchell). I really like the optimism of the...
